Christian Graduation Cards Share a Special Message
It's that time of year again when your mailbox is probably filling up with graduation
announcements and invitations Demographic reports tell us that families are having fewer and fewer children…but don't try and convince anyone of that in May when there are more graduation events than a person feels they could possibly attend.
How can you possibly give a gift to every graduate you know or even congratulate them in a way that is meaningful? A Christian graduation card could be the answer.
Christian graduation cards do what every graduation card should do. They convey
messages of pride in accomplishments, well wishes for the future and give recognition for an important milestone in life. But Christian graduation cards go beyond the standard expressions and speak to the person's heart and innermost realities. They do this by sharing messages rooted in the truths of the Bible.
We all remember best what is most personal to us so when you send a graduation card be sure to write something personal about the graduate inside. You may choose to recall a shared event. A verse like Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! demonstrates that it is Christ-like to find joy in shared experiences.
It can also be very meaningful to mention specific achievements made by the graduate. Those achievements may have been academic or they may not. Was there a time when the graduate stood up for Christ? 1 Samuel 2:30 promises Those who honor me, I will honor. Graduation is a great time to commend growing spiritual maturity in a young person .
Christian graduation cards can also plant a hope in God's promises. Think of verses like Proverbs 10:9 The man of integrity walks securely. What a reassuring promise to a young man or woman on the brink of their unknown future. It's also good to remind them that God
does have a plan for them as an individual according to Ephesians 2:10 We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
The examples could go on and on because the Scriptures are so full of daily wisdom and encouragement. You may not be able to buy a gift for every graduate, but they won't remember most of their gifts anyway. With a Christian graduation card you can speak life-giving truth that praises, exhorts and connects faith to this important moment in life. God's words are never trite and they always produce a harvest wherever they are sown.
